Pros of Northgard
>Story mode which doubles as comprehensive tutorial for basic gameplay as well as clan specifics for Stag, Goat, Wolf, Raven, Bear and Boar clans
>more play modes
>more different factions. while compared to dune, each faction is less distinct, considering volume of factions, you have more variety of factions having unique stuff.
>more game modes (story, conquest, bifrost, skirmish) with skirmish allowing up to 8 factions.
>no pause, so game feels more like traditional RPG.
>ability to purchase skins for various heroes using in game currency, earned by playing the damn game.Pros of Dune
>better conquest mode, as it feels way more roguelite, with only predefined missions being faction HQ assaults, compared to more structured missions in Northgard.
>each faction is way more distinct in Dune compared to Northgard clans
>moreover, each faction has custom setup in councilors and heroes as you can pick 2 out 4 for counselors, and 1 out 2 for heroes, each giving you different faction mechanics.
>heroes aren't just beefy statblock units like in northgard, but actually expands your faction's advantages.
>Game feels like 4x, with large scale battles with multiple units, operations, air units etc., compared to warband skirmishes of ~10 guys beating each other in Northgard.
>research tree is more comprehensive compared to simplistic, but quite good Northgard lore mechanic.Northgard is RTS with 4X mechanics, Dune is 4X with RTS mechanics.
